Placeholders for pagination etc.

[berb]

Hi!

I'm looking forward to a way of inserting some placeholder variable such as page numbers. I'd be nice if they can be inserted into the inkscape SVG as a text (textual variable) and the be evaluated before the actual rendering process for each slide page.

Berb:
I wanted this same thing (and some other features) and started my own fork. Another thing that might meet your need is cog.

I wasn't really intending to release my fork, as it embarrassingly refactors things that I couldn't follow in their original format. However, someone else needed it, so I am making it available, hubris and all.

The readme hints at it, but basically you have the following fields, which can be inside of text boxes (just added flow boxes):

• {{#PAGE#}}
• {{#PAGES#}}
• {{#DATE pattern #}}

These will be replaced with various values. What other kind of stuff would you want?
